SOWING AND sREAPING.
Arrangements Completed for the
Distribution Of the Best Seed
Wheat.

The Cataract Mill company of this city
have now completed arrangements for
supplying farmers with seed wheat such
as will produce the famous No. Hard.
The company will do this for the public
benefit and not for gain except such as
will result Indirectly ahe importance
of good seed is well recognized in Dakota
and Minnesota, and to the care taken in
that respect the success of the grain
growers is largely due. tits noted fact
that the further north wheat can be grown
the shorther its period of maturity. Seed
taken from Canada to Kentucky, Ohio or
Colorado, ripens earlier than the wheat
raised in these States. But the seed the
second year loses this quality to great
extent and follows in the same line of the
Wheats of these states. In Sweden adj
vantage is taken of this in annually bring
ing seed wheat from the northern extrem-
ity of the Gulf of Bothnia, nearly under
the Arctic circle, and sowing it in land SO
much exposed to cold that ordinary wheat
has scarcely time to ripen. Wheats from
the Mediterranean-their own native
habitat-when brought to this climate I'M
prove so greatly in color, yield and quality
that they, when compared, can not be
recognized as the same. Of the 1876 differ
ent varieties of wheat, q of oats, IS of
barley and 8 of rye received at the Color
ado Agriculturtural College from foreign
countries the last seven years, not one but
has made better grain than that received.
Changing seed las long been practiced by
few farmers ia the different states and
often with excellent results-but the
change must be frequently repeated.
Some seeds run out in short time and
become worthless because the soil and
climate do not agree with them and often
from want of judicious selection. Oats
coming from Canada, Scotland and Ire
land make larger yield in some of the
western states than where they came from
for one or two seasons, and after that
lapse into the same condition of produc-
tion and quality as other oats.

Where They We're Born.

Sometime af ter the war Gen. Crittenden
met three ex-confederate officers at din
ner, and they became very friendly.
"Major," said Gen. Crittenden to one OF
them, swhere were you born?"
"Well," said the major, getting little
red, 81 was born, sir, in Nantucket, Mass
but you see lived ten years in the south
and married a southern lady, and, as all
my interests were in the south, of course
I fought for them
"And where were you borns" he asked
the second.
aWell. sir, was born in Nantucket,
Mass, but I'd lived in the south twenty
years and of course-
II see,' said the general, turning to the
third. s'Colonel, where were you born?''
Il was born in Nantucket, Mass, toe,
but I'd been thirty years in the sonth and
.That's curious isn't it,"
"Tell me general" said one of them,
"where were you born?"
.sWell, was born in Huntwell, Ala,
but / lived in the north for many years,
and fought for the union"
Then they all drank round.-san

XIV. The man who is bitten by rattle
snake should have whisky poured into
him until he is too drunk to stand, and he
should be kept drunk for two or three
days. The one poison counteracts the
other. II he can't be made drunk there
is little hope for him. Live flesh will
draw out the poison, it is said and in some
places, when person is bitten by rattle
snake, the first thing done is to xii a
chicken, cut it in half, and while the
flesh is still quivering put it warm upon
the bite.

the startling news that another lot Of
British schooners has been captured by
the revenue cutter Rush, and taken to
Sitka, and that as the steamer was leaving
the revenue cutter again hove in sight
having number of schooners in tow.
Those in Sitka are the Victoria schooners
Dolphin, Anna Beck, Grace and w. P.
Howard, and the American schooner
Challenger of Seattle. With the schoon-
ers seized last year, this makes seven
British vessels now in charge of the
Alaskan authorities, and they will no
doubt be added to, as it seems to be the
intention of the Americans to seize every
schooner that they can secure anywhere
within the waters of Behring sea.

A Sword Duel.

NEW ORLEANS, August Ga duel with
sharp swords took place this morning in
St. Bernard parish, between Emile Revin,
an editor of L'Opiuion, and Mr.. Lar
rieu, president of the French Democratic
club. The contest resulted in Lorrieu be-
ing wounded in the breast and right hand
by single stroke. He was removed to
Mr.. Roy's house, the wound in his chest
being considered dangerous. The duel
grew out of an article in Revin's paper,
rejecting ON Larrien for the action of the
French Democratic club recently in en-
dorsing Gov. McEnery.

FASHIONS OF THE DAY.

The Norwalk is the favorite jacket for
little girls as we'll as for little boys.
White is now trimmed with blue in
stead of the contrary way OF former times.
Kilt skirts and blouse waists are the
preferred form for little girls flannel
serge, and other wool frocks.
White costumes in white llama cloth,
which is a mixture of silk and wool, are
trimmed prettily with red plush.
Small wraps of ruby, deep blue, terra
Gotta or brown velvet, with garnitares of
black lace and jet, are in vogue, and are
very attractive.
Since silks have become fashionable
again, summer silks have assumed an en-
tirely different character to satisfy exist
ing modern tastes.
Tussore silk greatly resembles pongee
silk, but is more expensive, and trims
handsomely with lace insertions dyed the
same yellowish tint.
The brooch has taken the place of the
small cravat pins and is worn generally
with. the severe tailor-made costumes and
is in harmony with the plainness of the
effect.
A charming bonnet is made of point
d'esprit net drawn over wire frame.
Velvet finishes the rolled brim and ties,
while some of the delicate small blossoms
form bouquet for the front.
The full puffed sleeves is very pretty in
lace or delicate fabric, and bids fair to be
the most fashionable sleeves of the season.
Deep cuffs of moire silk or velvet forms
the finish of such sleeve.
Bonnets of fine white horsehair, known
to our grandmothers as 'sNeapolitan, are
once more in vogue, and will no doubt
meet with very much favor, as they are
light and very dainty in appearance.
Soft felt hats of picturesque shape are
from England, and accompany waelen
costumes; the popular trimming being
some gossamer fabric either in white or
in the corresponding colors in the cos
tune.
The bodices of all costumes for out-of-
door wear in summer are made OF loose
and comfortable as is possible and still
have them shapely Very stithy boned
bodices are no longer elegant for any oc-
casion and are only seen in wonld-b
stylish costumes.
Sometimes the stripes of Jersey cloth
are used as trimming on plain serge or
shuddah cloth. The loose blouse having
a vest of the striped cloth is pretty and
youthful way of making the bodice of q
tennis costume. The cuffs and belt should
also be of Jersey CLOTH.

TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER.
Whole Family Murdered i'll Georgia

fearful tragedy near here, IN which
Thomas Walfold murdered Captain and
Mrs. Walfold and their six children,
ranging in years from l6 months TO ~
years. and Mrs. West. an aunt of airs.
Waifold, aged 50 years. Thomas Wal
fold. the murderer of these nine persons.
was son of the captains first wife. His
statement to the coroner's jury, who found
verdict of murder against him, was that
some time before daylight he was arous-
ed by groans and blows proceeding from
the adjoining room. His half brother
Richard ran into the room which adjoin-
ed his, and thinking that murder was be-
lag committed, Thomas jumped from the
window in his night clothes and bare feet
and ran to the house of neighhor 500
yards distant, to get them to arouse the
neighborhood He says be was afraid TO
return, fearing he, himself would be mur-
dered, but went back after Il half hour.
No help had arrived and he went III TO
see if the family had been murdered. He
found them all dead. He stepped Ill a
pool of blood in passing and left foot
prints on the floor. He found his step
mother lying so that her head was on the
floor and tue body on the bed. He raised
her up and placed her on the bed and then
changed his clothes. By this time the
coroner had arrived and soon after he was
taken in custody. The evidence before
the jury was cireunlstantial throughout:
The crowd continued to grow in size and
pointed strongly to lyncitins. Sheriff
Westcott told the jury to withhold their
verdict until the prisoner had been gotten
away. Thomas Walfold was removed
from the house in hurry and driven
away rapidly before the crowd had fully
realized his departure. The prisoner was
brought to Macon and safely lodged in
jail, where he talked OF the crime cody.
His motive is said to be TO gain some prop
erty to his sisters, the children of the first

g am entitled to a nomination with

usage for a long time, SO I do not think

candidate now come forward and urge
me not to go into the primaries of all,
and assure me of their hearty and cor
dial support at the general election. So

him, and although he did not succeed in
burying his teeth in his flesh, he did tear

AN agricultural paper says: Every
paper in the United States ought occa-
sionally to keep the fact before its readers
that burnt corn is certain and speedy
cure for hog cholera. The best way is to
take pile of corn on the cobs and effec-
tually scorch it and give the affected hogs
free access to it. This remedy was dis
covered by e. e. Lock at the time his
distillery was burnt down in Lewistown,
ILL.,, together with lot of stored corn,
which was so much injured as to be unfit
for use. 1t was greedily eaten by the
hogs, several of which were dying daily.
After the second day not single hog was
lost, and the disease entirely disappeared.
The remedy has been tried in number
of cases since and has never failed.
